You bugga Dot!! lol
I will do what I can to keep it updated then

Been trying to post a couple of pics. Any chance the restrictions can be eased out to 1024x768?
Cheers,

You can tell from Dot's photo, (over to the right) she is a kindly helpful person.....

And the new hairdo really suits her, such a shy retiring little ray of sunshine that she is.

Keep an eye out, will listen on either ch 40 or ch 16.
There is not another one like it.

Has the Swaggie passed all her safety and mechanical checks now Martin? I think those swaggies look like a grasshopper from the front view.

[dapope]

Yes, all good Dot, several shakedown cruises now, got the fancy battery pack in, had a big refurbish , new air con, now getting new towbar fitted, and set for a framing. Hopefully we will have the pajero dragging behind us when we head north.
Grasshopper maybe, but I don't have to tailgate the slowpokes for long usually
Just kidding.......

[Dot]

So what are your plans (if any?) are you going to live in full time or ?? mths? House sold rented? On second thoughts the swaggies look more like a preying mantis. What "stuff" have you secretly thrown back out?

[dapope]

I have 5 weeks off. Plan is to head north asap till about Broome, then we will slow down, although we may detour into Karajinni NP. I seriously thought about doing the Gibb River Road, but feedback is that theres too many loonies on that road this time of year. We want to get into the Bunglebungles.
Then is back to work till October, flip over to NZ for 2 weeks to meet the new granddaughter, and catch up with family (motorhome is booked)
Then back to work till November next year, when my long service leave falls due, and rental contract is up
As log as the better half's kids are semi-sorted, then we will depart Perth for however long we want.
That's the plan anyway
